PARIS - Tuesday, October 11th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- For its 2016 edition, the world leading event dedicated to
secure payment, identification and connectivity will include a high
level conference programme among which a one day conference track on
BLOCKCHAIN.

THURSDAY 1ST DECEMBER – 10h30AM / 4PM

THE FUTURE OF BLOCKCHAIN: HIT OR FLOP?

Its
name is on everybody’s lips and crypto-currencies hit the headlines -
for good or evil. However, they have not experienced any significant
development so far. Still, the interest of a growing number of
stakeholders moved on the virtues of Blockchain technology, which
demonstrates considerable potential in many areas, be it in the
financial sector, automotive, IoT or health.

This conference will be chaired by Jean-Noël Georges, Global Program Director, Research Manager at Frost & Sullivan:

“Even
if the blockchain is probably the hottest ‘buzzword’ of the year, the
technology is far from being mature. However, it offers considerable
potential for the industry. Even though it still needs to progress
notably on regulatory and technical levels, the blockchain will
eventually and undoubtedly accelerate its adoption rate in other sectors
than finance.”

About TRUSTECH (Incorporating Cartes): The event
was first held over thirty years ago under the name “CARTES Secure
Connexions”, to promote the new-born technology of smartcards. Now it
has been re-named “TRUSTECH (incorporating CARTES)”, to better reflect
the way the industry and the event have evolved, and its focus on
trust-based technologies.
